    macroH2A2 Antagonizes Epigenetic Programs of Stemness in Glioblastoma

    With omics and functional assays deploying patient-derived in vitro and in vivo models, scientists showed that macroH2A2 shaped chromatin accessibility at enhancer elements to antagonize transcriptional programs of self-renewal.

    Elevated FOXG1 in Glioblastoma Stem Cells Cooperates with Wnt/β-Catenin To Induce Exit From Quiescence

    Using small-molecule modulators and genetic perturbations, researchers identified a synergistic interaction between FOXG1 and Wnt/β-catenin signaling.

    Histone Lysine Methyltransferase SMYD3 Promotes Oral Squamous Cell Carcinoma Tumorigenesis via H3K4me3-Mediated HMGA2 Transcription

    The authors investigated the biological functions and mechanisms involved in the SET and MYND domain-containing protein 3 (SMYD3)-mediated tumorigenesis of oral squamous cell carcinoma utilizing bioinformatic approaches and validation assays.

    JWA Inhibits Nicotine-Induced Lung Cancer Stemness and Progression through CHRNA5/AKT-Mediated JWA/SP1/CD44 Axis

    Scientists reported for the first time that JWA was significantly downregulated in smoking-related lung cancer and associated with overall survival. Nicotine exposure reduced JWA expression in a dose-dependent manner.

    Phosphorylation of IWS1 by AKT Maintains Liposarcoma Tumor Heterogeneity through Preservation of Cancer Stem Cell Phenotypes and Mesenchymal-Epithelial Plasticity

    Researchers showed that the AKT-mediated phosphorylation of the transcription elongation factor IWS1, promoted the maintenance of CSCs in both cell and xenograft models of liposarcoma.

    SNHG1, a KLF4-Upregulated Gene, Promotes Glioma Cell Survival and Tumorigenesis under Endoplasmic Reticulum Stress by Upregulating BIRC3 Expression

    The authors investigated the altered lncRNAs upon endoplasmic reticulum (ER) stress in glioma and found that small nucleolar RNA host gene 1 (SNHG1) was markedly increased in response to ER stress.

    FTO Promotes the Stemness of Gastric Cancer Cells

    After gastric CSCs were isolated, it was found that fat mass and obesity (FTO) protein expression was increased in gastric CSCs and stemness of gastric cancer cells was reduced after the FTO gene knockdown.

    Abstract

    Isoliquiritigenin Inhibits circ0030018 To Suppress Glioma Tumorigenesis via the miR-1236/HER2 Signaling Pathway

    Researchers treated glioma cells with isoliquiritigenin (ISL), and circRNA expression levels were detected. Circ0030018 was found significantly downregulated by ISL. They explored circ0030018 expression profiles and functions in glioma.

    Cancer Stem Cells in Colorectal Cancer: Implications for Targeted Immunotherapies

    The authors review the biological significance of stemness and the results of potential colorectal CSC (CRCSC)-based targeted immunotherapies. They point out the barriers to targeting CRCSCs in vivo and highlight new strategies based on synthetic and biogenic nanocarriers for future anti-CRCSC trials.
